At YM&C, our legal team expertly navigates Title IX, spanning everything from college staff training to policy development and implementation. We offer counsel on day-to-day matters, with a keen eye on equality in athletics, oversee external investigators, and handle intricate, compassionate cases. We aim to be a pillar of support for schools, guiding them through the complex web of Title IX complaints, including student and employee sexual harassment and gender-based misconduct. Collaborating with administrators, Title IX Coordinators, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offices, our experts craft innovative support measures. We tackle sex-based discrimination in educational endeavors and administer fair, effective investigative processes. YM&C’s dedicated team is at the forefront of championing equity in academic programs and services.
